Today was a long, fun, exciting day at the zoo. I gave my second tour, to a group of Cuban diplomats and their kids. The sheeps and alpacas at the Children's Zoo were sheared (I asked if I could have some of the wool, but they save it all for the other animals to play with). I witnessed a violent nature documentary-style standoff between the snow monkeys and the black-necked swans (not sure who won, but the swans totally started it). Oh and Ricky Gervais was there again, and pointed out to one of the other guides that one of the monkeys had apparently gotten hold of a Sharpie. Yeah...I don't know either.

Your turn, Tunis sheep! (Or was that a St Croix? Whatever.)


You'll get sheared and you'll like it


Complacency sets in


Look at all that pretty wool (It's actually not good quality though. It's got a lot of itchy hair in it.)
